Posit Team and Python

  • Workbench: develop in Python using VS Code, JupyterLab, and Jupyter Notebook (classic)

  • Connect: deploy a wide range of Python data products including Jupyter Notebooks (reports, ETL jobs), Shiny for Python apps, Dash apps, FastAPIs, pins, Quarto projects

  • Package Manager: serves up a full PyPI mirror, currated repositories, and internally developed Python packages

Posit and Python Open Source

Posit has a rich and storied history of developing open source software for the R ecosystem: RStudio IDE, tidyverse, Shiny.

In the last couple of years, Posit has begun significant development in the Python open source ecosystem with projects like Quarto, Vetiver, Shiny for Python.

Key Takeaways

  • All three Posit professional products (Workbench, Connect, Package Manager) have extensive support for Python data science.

  • We have extended our open-source mission to include Python with project like Vetiver, Shiny for Python, and Quarto. We also financially support Python open source by sponsoring Numfocus.

  • Given our deep history with R, and our extensive support for Python, Posit Team is great for bilingual data science teams.

  • Posit Team is an excellent solution for Python only teams.
